We asked and you responded. Here are your responses to last week's question:

Q: How do you serve your community? Do you volunteer?

"I serve by reporting crime or suspicious activity. Perhaps crime would go down if everyone did the same."

"I am part of the victim's advocates for the Rape Crisis Center. We assist victims through forensic exams and insure that each victim is treated with dignity, respect, and compassion. We empower them to take back the control they lost while being assaulted."

"I volunteer for the Rape Crisis Center. I also serve on the Board of the Camp for the Blind."

"I volunteer at the Humane Society's Thrift Store and it is an incredible and rewarding experience. Most of the overhead is funded by the store. More people should get involved."

"I began volunteering when I was sixteen and have volunteered for various organizations such as Civil Defense and the American Red Cross. I've been a C.P.R. instructor, scoutmaster and have logged 3,000 hours at a local hospital. My favorite is helping the elderly at nursing homes."

"I radio read to the blind at the senior citizen's building on Bull and Washington. We read the newspaper in the morning and sometimes at night. They need more volunteers and it is fun."

"I serve by volunteering with the Savannah Parkinson's support group. We call members to tell them who our next speaker will be because we can't get the paper to run that information."

YOUR WEEKEND QUESTION:

Q: Did you make resolutions in January of 2006? Which ones did you keep?

We want to hear what you have to say. Call 652-0370 or e-mail vox@savannahnow.com to respond to this weekend's Vox Populi question. Reponses will run in next Friday's Your Weekend section.

Other Calls:

"What an accomplishment. Bush has learned a new word: surge."

"I moved from Savannah due to the absurd amount of crime, and recent reports of murders, kidnappings and car jackings all confirmed that I made the right move. Get with it Savannah, you are a beautiful city. Don't let the thugs destroy the town."

"To the caller who was appalled by the amount of coverage James Brown received, remember that James Brown loved Savannah and we loved him. It's not a competition on who got more coverage. Get over it."

"First Student should change their name to Late Student."

"It is amazing our government is considering sending a surge of troops to take Baghdad neighborhoods one block at a time when the same prescription should be considered in many major U.S. cities to clear out crime."

"I don't think an alligator could survive at The Landings. They like swamp water, not Perrier."
